It's amazing to me that the Christian Cult of Ignorance continues to support a man who has been an abject failure in every area of life from his marriages to his businesses to his relationship with his fellow workers to his total inability to stop lying or fulfill any of his promises.
The man quite frankly has no redeeming social worth or value yet is supported by an association of deplorables and the willfully ignorant as well as the anti-science divorced from reality and honesty Christian Cults.

i'm telling the FSM you said you want to be a Christian, idiot. i guess you don't understand american politics.
trump is the only us president in recent times besides maybe w bush who was a coward so it doesn't matter, whose main motivation isn't power.
his brain is a little twitter-addled, but god doesn't choose perfect people to lead.
mary magdalene was likely a prostitute yet she was the first to see the risen christ.
then again i'm talking to a guy who thinks pasta primavera is lord... yikes

What Makes Christians Ignorant?
Im not a huge fan of trump, though most of my Christian friends who like him list two main reasons, and dont mention the obvious third reason.
1) He supports Israel
2) He is against abortion.
and the elephant in the room
3) Their small businesses did a lot better.
But perhaps you can again tell us what specifically makes a Christian ignorant.
If its the belief that Jesus rose from the dead and is alive today (as Spirit) then I think it is you who are ignorant. I fear that your brand of Christianity specifies only that we imitate Jesus and feed, clothe and encourage our fellow humans...not waiting for any 2nd coming or return and not trusting God through prayer and Communion. Your Christianity advocates doing, which is not a bad thing...but you deny the power of the living God. (and will ask me how to test for this power)
The Socratic teachers and their critical thinking which taught you to "throw God away" deceived you.
But it may not be too late for you to learn, if you can lay your pride on the altar.

"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain "

Re: What Makes Christians Ignorant?
Phat, that is all simply more of your sophomoric crap; you prattle on like the typical four year old.
What makes so many Christian ignorant is that they were taught not to think; to trust source over content and belief over evidence and fantasy over reality.
I pity you.

Well, you seem determined to drag down the level of discourse here. But it’s hardly the first example of that.

I guess that greed and egotism might come before power, but I don’t think either are good. Trump is also more power-hungry than most.
quote:

Boasting about passing a cognitive test designed to detect dementia - and claiming that it was difficult suggests that there is something wrong with his brain.
But all the lying he does is something else.
Come on, do you worship Trump as the anti-Christ or do you just think he’s paving the way ?

Re: US Federal Brownshirts
The Federal Government has one duty and that is to protect the homeland from attack from without and within
so department of homeland security is not in the constitution, thanks for admitting it.
You and others here are the only ones I have heard talking about proactive arrests.
then I suggest you pull your head out of your ass and come up for air. Here's an article about it, including video of an interview where the acting head of the department of homeland security talks about it and admits they're operating off of federal property.
Even set them on fire and burn businesses to the ground and no one even get arrested or charged with any crime.
I guess you think that is OK and they have a constitutional right to be able to do that.
anybody who breaks the law should be charged and tried. Including those LEOs who violate peoples civil rights by arresting them without cause.
If you're so law and order focused i guess you'll be calling for the removal of Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf since he has been in his position longer than is allowable by law (Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998)

who has been an abject failure in every area of life
I'd say that he has been a very successful con man.

Why do you people think you can get away with pretending to be Christian?
Your sheer nastiness undermines the pretence every time.

Once we see his financials I believe we will see that he was not even successful at that.

Re: What Makes Christians Ignorant?
True and yet not the whole story. Its not that I ignore what the Bible says. I ignore what you think the Bible says. You emphasize a message and not a messenger. I see the two as one. Jesus was and is the Word eternal. You dont get to have a secular humanist socialist world where humanism reigns and God and His Son dont actually exist. I may even give as much spare change away as you do...though I could do better. As far as the apologists go, count me as one. Show me my lies.
At best, you will showcase my flesh warring against the Spirit. You wont catch me lying about anything. You might catch me ignoring some things occasionally, however.

Re: What Makes Christians Ignorant?
Im not a huge fan of trump, though most of my Christian friends who like him list two main reasons, and dont mention the obvious third reason.
1) He supports Israel
Because he knows that's what his voting base wants.
2) He is against abortion.
Because he knows that's what his voting base wants.... although Donny was pro-abortion for decades... not to mention a Democrat... not to mention has never been and still is not a Christian by any respectable definition.
3) Their small businesses did a lot better.
Until he completely botched Covid-19 and now every single small business has already gone under or is facing Chapter 11.
But perhaps you can again tell us what specifically makes a Christian ignorant.
Any self-avowed Christian who supports Donald Trump worships Caesar and the almighty mammon, not Jesus or anything he stood for.
Phat, your own bible distinguishes between false prophets and true God-fearing people. It even distinguishes between different Christian churches, particularly in the last days, when it delineates between the 7 Churches of Asia Minor. Note how many of those churches were upright and how many were found to be in error. Hint: the majority were preaching false doctrine.
Someone saying they are "Christian" should mean almost nothing to you. I am truly astonished by the sheer number of "Christians" who support Donald Duck. These are the same people who, with a straight face, will tell you about the wiles of the Anti-Christ and how he's going to trick the masses, but they themselves can't see the irony of following Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, a man who has had a silver spoon lodged firmly up his ass for his entire life; a man who has NEVER known what it is to suffer, what it is to live paycheck to paycheck, a man who cannot relate to Middle America, somehow duped all of middle America into thinking he gives a shit about them.
I stand corrected. I guess miracles do happen.
